Well, I bring some bad news, some good news, and some better news.
The bad news: I'm horribly stressed at work. I'm going in at 7am and leaving at 8pm, except for the two days a week where I have Arabic, where I need to leave at 5:30pm, be in class until 9pm, and then work until I feel like I'm going to pass out.
The good news: This too shall pass. Things should calm down substantially after next Tuesday, and I'm looking forward to resuming daily posting.
The better news:
Weight: 236.5
BMI: 40.59
That's 2.3 pounds in one week. NICE. It also puts me past the 40 pound mark, which is, well, NICE. Oh, and did I mention it means I've lost over 7 points of BMI and 14.93% of my bodyweight? Yeah, that's pretty snazzy. And I'm a mere 3.5 pounds away from no longer being morbidly obese.
So, I'm struggling at work, and I miss blogging, and I miss all my blog buddies, but at least I get to report back to you guys that in spite of the stress I'm still a weight losing machine.
I hope the rest of you are having fewer life issues, but just as much weight loss success. Take care and I promise I'll start with real posts again soon!

GREAT numbers, Hadley!!! I'm sorry you're so stressed, but to lose that much during a stressful time is great work!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job! That's really exciting, you've lost a lot :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats friend!! Well earned. It seems like just yesterday you started this blog and were not too convinces you could lose this weight. Now look at you!! 40 pounds is HUGE! It's like you've lost a kindergartener. Imagine one of those hanging around your neck all day while you are so stressed at work.
ReplyDeleteNice. Enjoy. May every week (weight loss wise) be like this!
Great job! Great way to keep up with the losing despite life getting in the way - that is a very tough thing to do - congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss and take care while you're so busy.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I am incredibily jealous that you're in DC. I moved back home last year after graduate school and I miss it terribly. It seemed to be a bit easier to lose weight in DC. (Not that it was easy! I just had to walk everywhere!) Good luck on your weight loss journey - I have one of my own. (tritolose.wordpress.com)
